Anime Relations: Kanon, Kanon Kazahana, Kanon (2006)
Laura: Zettai, are you ready?

Yes!

Chiaki: Oh, the morning exercises eyepatch girl again…

Laura: Got a problem?

Chiaki: No, no… You sound just like my sister…

Laura: So, which mom will you handle this week?

Right, it’s obviously…



Laura: She’s the aunt of the lead, but mother of Nayuki. Approved!

Excellent!

Laura: Now, come here, Miss Minase! *quickly leaves and brings her back*

Akiko: Oh, no, no, no need to call me by my last name…Oh my!

Huh?

Akiko: This room is so dirty! Gotta clean it! *starts tidying up the room, throwing the garbage out and setting up things on its place*

Hey, it’s not that bad…

Chiaki: I told him to fix it up, but nothing…

Akiko: There! All done!

It certainly looks better now, thank you!

Akiko: No problem… Oh, look at those windows! They’re so dirty as well!

Well, yeah… But…

Akiko: Leave it to me! *winks at Laura* I can clean them easily with a special way! *drops her skirt to reveal her ass in just a tiny black thong*

W-W-Whoa!

Akiko: I only wear this on special situations, and this feels special enough! *pours some water on the window and starts rubbing her ass against the glass, cleaning it skillfully*

I need a better view! *looks through the other side of the window to get a better view*

Chiaki: Was it your idea too?

Laura: Zettai is a silly and easy to tease pervert.

Chiaki: So yes.

Akiko: This is fun! *rubs faster*

Urrrgh! *nosebleeds* That was too much…

Chiaki: Zettai, you remind me of a certain cameraman that dies a lot…

Krillin?

Chiaki: Krillin is a NEET.

Akiko: I’m done! Now the window is clean and sparkling! My butt too!

Laura: Ms. Akiko, you should put your skirt on or Zettai will never start this blog.

Akiko: Oops. *does so*

Awww…

Laura: Now get to work, you craven cur! What a mooncalf!

Yes, yes…I’m no dastard…

Head

Hair
Akiko has long hair that changes between dark-ish blue and a fairly dark purple shade depending of the picture. Both colors are good so I don’t mind, but dude, consistency. Both anime have her mostly as purple tho. Color aside her hair isn’t bad, it’s fairly long and she has two cute “hair horns” on front, just like her daughter. Kaori has them too, as well as the twins from Clannad; must be a Key thing. Finally her hair is in a long-ish braid she has over her right shoulder, always. Braids are nice and I appreciate seeing a girl sporting one as they’re kind of rare! Sadly, we NEVER see her with her hair down. Ever. In either anime. Nor in the game it seems. Never. Even fanart doesn’t do that. It’s a bit strange. I mean, I like braids, but long flowing hair too! She still does great, but…
Grade: A-

Akiko: Funny, I remember doing something like this a few years ago. The comment was similar too…

Oh? Then let’s compare things!

Laura: Don’t! You won’t like it!

Eyes
Blue eyes, what a surprise. In fact that’s one of the few legitimate flaws Kanon has, most girls have blue eyes for some dull reason. Seriously, only 3 girls have another eye color and one is green and another purple, originality! That said Akiko’s eyes aren’t too bad, they match her hair well and I kinda like how Kanon eyes look for some reason. 2006 Kanon that is, Toei Kanon is a bit silly. She also never wears glasses; it seems Mai has the exclusivity for that.
Grade: B

Akiko: That happened as well! After the blog was over, the author wanted me to put on a pair of glasses! It was weird, but funny.

Body

Build
Again, nothing impressive here. Except for one thing: Akiko HAS MEASUREMENTS! Oh, how I missed them so much! At 165 cm she’s not overly tall, but she’s not short either. Only Mai and the guys are taller than her. Her weight is 50 cm, biggest of the female cast and possibly due to her age. Her measurements are 86/57/83, because even Kanon has the flaw where every girl has bigger breasts than hips, except Shiori who is quite literally the flattest girl and only has bigger hips by 1 cm, boo. To be fair bust sizes only win by 1-3 cm, but it’s lame still. Though it could be worse, Air gives to literally every single girl bigger breasts than hips, even the loli! At least Clannad is slightly more balanced and Little Busters outright gives all the girls but the bustiest one and the EX-only girl bigger hips, so thankfully Key learned from this. Anyway the main problem Akiko has with this isn’t her silly measurements, but how her clothes are so loose and unrevealing. We can’t really blame her since it’s a cold-ass Winter and all that, but not even official art helps here. KyoAni, I know Clannad was directed by Ned Flanders, but Kanon was back when they were still sane, so no excuses! Oh well, from what we can infer she’s alright but nothing special, like her score.
Grade: B-

Laura: This was different, wasn’t it?

Akiko: Definitely. This is the first time I met a man who doesn’t like large breasts!

I know I’m a weirdo… And that shows don’t like me… Stupid MANglobe and Traps Nobody Kalled-for and also J-Cup Stuff…

Chiaki: Great, you made Zettai cry again. Show him your ass!

Akiko: Yes!

Laura: No, I will! *buttsmacks Zettai*

Hey! That hurt! In a sexy way, but still!

Laura: I don’t care! Get back to writing! Now!

Butt
Not shown, since she logically lacks a route and even then Kanon doesn’t have many ass pics, and those that do aren’t that great anyway. Measurement-wise she’s not great either. There is however A LOT of fanart of her ass, that always helps. Mostly by one guy, fine, but still!
Grade: D+

Akiko: Oh, that guy said I had “DEM HIPS!” as well. Wonder what he meant…

Clothes
Most of Akiko’s wardrobe is fairly similar, which is to say it’s kind of bland. While once again IS WINTER helps to explain things a bit, it won’t change the fact her clothes are all fairly standard cardigans, tube skirts, blouses and other “normal” clothes like that. She does have a pair of pants, too! There are only two noteworthy outfits: Her somewhat nice gypsy-like costume in one pic, and notably HER DAUGHTER’S CUTE SCHOOL UNIFORM in the game! Okay, you only see her from the shoulder up, so it’s not that great, but is good Key figured how awesome this uniform was and made as many girls as possible wear it!
Grade: B

Chiaki: Why are men into school uniforms?

I’m not; this one is just that cute.

Chiaki: Should I wear my school uniform with the cute hat and the blazer and the thighhighs?

YES!

Chiaki: Idiot.

Akiko: *laughs*

Mind

Personality
Akiko is pretty much the ideal caring mother. Yes, I know I said something similar last week, shut up. She is always shown working hard at home and being nice and caring for her daughter, her daughter’s cousin, and any and all strays they pick up, meaning Ayu, Makoto and Piroshiki. She’s also the token ideal housewife that does her job perfectly, included her cooking. Well, minus her JAM! For some reason her jam is awful, but don’t tell her that. Her jam is so bad in Eternal Fighter Zero her strongest special is making her enemy eat some of it, and note one of her “normal” ones is smashing a truck on the enemy’s head. Hell, they even mentioned it on Clannad After Story, of course served alongside the “Sanae’s bread” cheap rip-off! Jam issues aside she apparently has a job which no one knows, and she lacks a husband, oddly just like every single mother that I’ve done this month. The topic is never brought off even though said husband is implied to be the main’s uncle, so you’d think he’d care a little. Oh well, no big deal. She took care of her daughter by herself so they’re really close, so another point for her. In fact that’s part of her daughter’s arc but I’m not going into details. She’s quick to reply to questions and often says yes. Overall Akiko is a great and kind caring mother, which probably helps to explain why she’s one of the most popular anime mothers. Ahem.
Grade: B+

Akiko: He actually wrote about me for Mother’s Day, so this fits.

Laura: What’s Eternal Fighter Zero?

A game made by fans where characters from Kanon, Air and other two similar games have 1-vs.-1 battles.

Chiaki: What’s a battle?

Libido
See above. At least Meme and Lindy showed appreciation for their respective couples, but Akiko doesn’t really bring up the topic much, if at all. The only reason she scores somewhat well is that she’s a bit of a Memetic, huh, a Memetic Cougar and fanart and doujinshi often have her take the lead, which kind of fits in a way, but that’s it.
Grade: C-

Akiko: Oh my! He ALSO said that! How pervy of you!

Chiaki: What’s a cougar?

A big cat.

Chiaki: And what has got to do with Ms. Akiko?

Well… That’s…

Laura: You tell her, Zettai.

Akiko: *laughs*

Age
Guess, once again not a big score here. Sadly I don’t even have a proper age to rate here, but given Nayuki her daughter is about 17 that’d make Akiko in her early-mid thirties at the very least. So not a high scorer again. Hooray!
Grade: D

Akiko: Oh, this was nothing like that. He seemed to like my age.

Laura: Right, but Zettai is a dirty lolicom.

Chiaki: Just look at the kind of girls he hangs with.

I’m hearing you!

Laura: We know.

Voice
Yuuko Minaguchi is a great VA and simply the perfect voice for Akiko. Period. Still not as impressive as some of my favs, but I can’t see anyone else doing her job.
Grade: B+

Akiko: He never mentioned this. Also, this sounds oddly defensive…

Laura: Zettai’s a jerk.

Akiko: Oh, I see.

Total: 60 (C+)

Akiko: This for sure wasn’t like that! I got 29 points higher!

Laura: As said, Zettai likes lolis. Preferably middle school girls.

Chiaki: He also likes when girls show their big ass, are proud of it and sit on the lead’s face. Preferably in a thong or less.

Laura: He also likes sadistic women that abuse the man and make him his slave.

Chiaki: And he likes it when the girls wear school swimsuits, gym uniforms with buruma, naked apron, gothloli, miko…

Okay, you can stop now.

Akiko: Sounds like he’s a very unique guy! That’s great, people need to stand for what they like and don’t follow sheepishly what others like!

Really?

Akiko: Of course! Keep on fighting and you’ll get a girl like that someday!

Oh, Ms. Akiko… Thank you! *hugs Akiko in tears*

Akiko: Here, here… Don’t cry… And don’t grab my butt either…

Laura: Way to ruin the moment, Zettai!

Chiaki: While Zettai is busy taking profit of his depression, know next month we’ll have the token mecha blog, so look forward to a mother from a robot series!
